Lockridge’s AP top 25 men’s basketball poll (Jan. 3)

Here are my votes submitted to the Associated Press top 25 men’s college basketball poll for the week of Jan. 3.

After a 2-0 week with a quality win over Marquette, I have Vanderbilt up to No. 22.

As usual on this blog, I have included some teams I consider on the cusp of making the poll and others I am keeping an eye on. A newcomer on my “cusp” list is Saint Mary’s, which visits Vandy in a few weeks. Georgia, quietly riding an eight-game win streak, has moved on to the “watch” list. Feel free to comment.
